Fr. Adrian is chaplain at Benedictine High School and Pastor at St. Joseph’s Parish in Richmond

Through Scouting, I learned the importance of helping others, thus the idea professional scouter or priesthood. I enlisted in the Navy in 1943 after high school and served 34 months. I entered seminary at St. Vincent College because I felt the Benedictines gave me what I wanted to do ..work with young people and live the liturgy. I was ordained at Belmont Abbey in 1955 and sent to Benedictine High School to teach. I served as Principal for 23 years and now as Chaplain. In 1991, I became Pastor of St. Joseph’s Parish.
